Swedish Candies

Earlier this year, Dubai chocolate became a huge trend on social media. Now, Swedish candies have taken over as the next viral [1] dessert. These colorful, chewy treats come in many shapes and flavors and are essentially gummies. ASMR videos of influencers enjoying the chewy sounds have made people around the world even more curious about them.

When the trend began in summer, Swedish candies were hard to find, and their price skyrocketed [2]. While demand increased, Swedish candy factories went on their traditional six-week summer break, which is required by the law. This caused a candy shortage, leaving not only foreigners but also Swedes struggling to get their hands on the popular treats. Some even said that this was putting Sweden’s “lördagsgodis” culture at risk.

What is Lördagsgodis?


Lördagsgodis means “Saturday(lördag) candy(godis)” in Swedish. This tradition encourages Swedes to eat candy only on Saturdays. It began in the 1950s when the Swedish government promoted eating sweets just once a week to prevent tooth decay. Since then, buying a bag of pick-and-mix candy every Saturday has become a cherished [3] routine in Sweden.

스웨덴 캔디

올해 초, 두바이 초콜릿이 소셜 미디어에서 큰 인기를 끌었습니다. 지금은 스웨덴 캔디가 다음 바이럴 디저트로 떠오르고 있습니다. 이 알록달록하고 쫄깃한 간식은 다양한 모양과 맛으로 제공되며 기본적으로 젤리 형태입니다. 인플루언서들이 쫄깃한 소리를 즐기며 먹는 ASMR 영상은 전 세계 사람들의 호기심을 더욱 자극했습니다.

여름에 유행이 시작되었을 때, 스웨덴 캔디는 구하기 어려웠고, 가격은 치솟았습니다. 수요가 증가하는 동안 스웨덴 캔디 공장은 법으로 정해진 6주간의 여름 방학에 들어갔습니다. 이로 인해 캔디 부족 현상이 발생했고, 외국인뿐만 아니라 스웨덴인들도 인기 있는 캔디를 구하기 위해 애를 먹었습니다. 어떤 사람들은 이로 인해 스웨덴의 '뢰르다그고디스' 문화가 위험에 처했다고 말하기도 했습니다.

뢰르다그고디스란?


뢰르다그고디스는 스웨덴어로 “토요일(뢰르다그) 사탕(고디스)”이라는 뜻입니다. 이 전통은 스웨덴 사람들이 토요일에만 사탕을 먹도록 장려합니다. 이는 1950년대에 스웨덴 정부가 충치 예방을 위해 일주일에 한 번만 사탕을 먹도록 장려하면서 시작되었습니다. 그 이후로 스웨덴에서는 매주 토요일마다 직접 골라 담는 캔디 한 봉지를 사서 먹는 것이 소중한 일상이 되었습니다.
